Did a sting by Philly cops and stadium security to catch abusive Eagles fans get out of control? A lawsuit filed by two long-time season ticket holders says it did, according to a report from Philly.com.

Longtime season ticket holders Gary Strain and wife, Margaretta, claim that after Gary yelled "a**hole" in a "good-natured manner" to a Cardinals fan -- who was really a cop. Gary was “immediately surrounded” and “forcefully and violently taken to the ground” by cops and stadium security.

Here are details of the alleged attack on Strain and his wife, according to Philly.com:

•The force allegedly caused his head to slam into the ground, resulting in a laceration and a severe contusion to his elbow.

• When Margaretta Strain “saw her husband being taken violently to the ground for no reason,” she yelled for the officers to stop, telling them her husband was on blood thinners and that any cut could cause medical problems, the lawsuit claims.

• A security guard and a police officer allegedly shoved her against the railing of the ramp and pulled her arms back.

The attack caused the couple to miss work for a week. Gary is still undergoing medical treatment for "severe pain radiating down his arm and neck." Margaretta still suffers from neck pain.

The suit for over $500,000 names Eagles Stadium Operators, LLC and Apex Security Group, along with one security guard and one police officer.
